The media in the States is heavily liberal by all accounts. They are virtual mouthpieces for the White House and the prez's administration.

What is your source for this 37% claim?

"By all accounts" is wrong, even as an exaggeration. The perception in much of the UK is that the media in the US is considered to be right-wing, with Fox being the most famous - and infamous. I believe this is the same through-out much of the world, probably more-so.

(Kudos, Prez, on getting the media on your side. What's your plans there, stir up an outcry against DRM?)
